Dear Sir, Please find the response as follows.

16 bit ADC conversion for 4 analog signals and storing the digital output in RAM with the record of time instant.

NB3000 has 4 channel 8 bit 200 KSPS unsigned ADC. If 16 bit/signed ADC is a Must, then we need to find such ADC peripheral module and interface with NB3000 or if they have such module we can check how it can interface with NB3000.

Designing a digital processing circuit to perform various arithmetic operations (i.e. summing, multiplying, square rooting etc.) with the stored data in RAM.

No probs. This can be done either in hardware (VHDLVerilog) or software (C code) using Altium Designer and NB3000.

After that we would like to analyze the stored data from RAM to show the maximum, minimum value, positive and negative discrete values of voltage corresponding to vibration amplitude along with instantaneous time of data generation and to reconstruct the actual vibration signal from the sampled values.

Can be done

We have to interface a 3 axis digital gyroscope with i2c bus with the FPGA board and store the output data of gyroscope in RAM and display the stored data of RAM in LCD screen.

NB3000 has >38 free bi-directional user IO pins. They can easily interface the peripheral over I2C. Altium Designer also has a I2C Master Controller and software stack if they want to use Embedded System for interfacing. NB3000 also has 320x240 TFT Touchscreen where they can display the results.

It has to be synchronized with the previous digital processing circuit for analyzing the data.

In this case they can write a dedicated HDL logic for this.

And the most important thing is that we like to design a standalone device, means after dumping the code in the device memory that will dont require to use any host computer or external CPU.

This is fine. NB3000 has a Xilinx Spartan 3AN device which has a Internal Flash. They can store the configuration data in the flash so that it acts as a standalone system. We can describe how this can be implemented on NB3000 in detail so that they have correct understanding of Design Architecture and the estimate of effort required. Thanks Best Regards, Venkatesha K
